Getting Ugly In Phl

[700UW]

Since you don't work for US or in PHL, let me explain it to you.

There is a severe ground equipment shortage, maybe if you read this thread you would see that was all ready explained.

There is not enough equipment to work regular mainline flights, do you expect the workers to magically make a beltloader appear when there is only one per gate allocated by MANAGEMENT?

You are reaching now to try to make yourself right when you are wrong and have no idea on what is going on.

And by the way, HP trainers are not US ramp management in PHL and do not have the authority to tell the fleet service workers what do to. Also US managment in PHL told the HP trainers to cease and desist, they did not listen and were sent home to PHX.

Give it up all ready.

Not 30 or 33 times, and unless you have not noticed, your antics and jokes are getting old along with your boy's same old rhetoric. The employees at the new U are trying to move on. Step aside or get on board. There is no space for drag.

Meanwhile WN employees are helping each other, Herb is passing out peanuts, pilots are carrying down strollers, FA's are cleaning planes, and they all are getting very healthy profit sharing contributions from the high Phili revenue and increased flights

Do you suppose WN is profitable because of those things, or because they operate a superior business plan?

If WN ceased those activities, would they slip into BK?

I do not underestimate the value of espirit de corp: I am merely pointing out it ts easier to achieve when your team is winning.

And winning has always been about leadership AND execution. Half of which U lacked.

WN's contracts with its employees are differant then US' contracts with their employees.

Compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges.

And did you know WN has the highest % of unionized employees then any other airline and they are highest paid in the industry.

If WN ceased those activities, would they slip into BK? Most likely, as their business plan is based on putting the employee and customer first. These activities of mutual respect, including employees respecting managment, is one of the ways they keep good people, and customers and remain profitable

I do not underestimate the value of espirit de corp: I am merely pointing out it ts easier to achieve when your team is winning. Funny, this espirt de corp was established when they were "losing" up against Braniff, Texas International, AA, and U. It seems to have worked

And winning has always been about leadership AND execution. Half of which U lacked.

Agreed, but your not working for US Airways anymore. Mangement is AW for the most part

WN has a corporate culture that doesn't allow for the petty, obnoxious crap that the union apologists here seem to want more of. Employees realize that working together and never losing sight of the fact that the customer is their boss keeps everyone focused.

The world changes, either change with it or be left behind, you won't be missed.

700,
WN has no reason to outsource because there union members work hard and are PRODUCTIVE. If the union members in PHL worked as hard, they wouldn't need to be replaced.....

How can you explain it when you don't work in PHL either? You work in CLT so how does that make you qualified to comment on what is happening in PHL?

 

[700UW]

See you don't know where I work and it is very easy to know what is going on in PHL, see if you were still at US you would know that.

WN outsources the all major heavy checks, they do some C-Checks in house and a small amount of 1/4 D-checks the rest is outsourced.

You've stated on several occasions that you work in CLT and are not a mechanic but work in fleet service.

Be careful of what you say or you may be reported to "mod-gods"...I have been already, even though the info was presented quite clearly in the past......we ALL must behave....

I believe he/she is ex-utility and now in deleted by mod. Seems to have a direct line for all the IAM rheotric though!!!

I have a question that is relevent to the topic of this thread. What is the process by which PHL can request the required equipment they need?

Is their a formal requisition form to be approved? By whom? I don't know what the process is.

I am no fan of the unions, but in this case they have a point. If the company agreed to terms in a contract and then clearly allow for a violation of these terms, then the union is due some compensation. It would be great if everyone could work together, but when their backs to the wall, what is so surprising about this response? It's sad and smacks of desperation, but the company agreed to it.

It would be nice to have wording written in that allows for waivers in special circumstances, but the unions will ask for far more in return than its worth (like maybe a nice gym in the hanger, for example.)

I once read a book about the firebombing of Japan during WWII. Even after the US had destroyed half of every major city in Japan, and displaced 1/3 of the country's citizens, their leadership refused to give up. For 700UW and the rest - I suggest you surrender this desperate mentality now, or one day you might experience your own nuclear winter. Ask the AMFA.
